DesuoiIcd orUcr Diamonds.

A New Orleans special says: Sarah
Ranger. OF Memphis. has been in TINS
city for a few weeks, n guest at the
house in which the noted Kate Town
send Va slain 10y Troisyille Sykes
some three years ago. Last night, after
prolonged champagne debauch,
Sarah retired, still wearing diamond
cross and pair of diamond earrings,
valued at 81 SEQ, which She had worn
during the day Shortly before J
o'clock she WAS rIdcly awakened, and
looking mp saw a tall man with sl0uch
hat. the upper part Of his face being
daubed with SCOT. She attempted to
get up, and as she did 50 she saw
another man. smaller than the one be-
side her, who wore derby hat,
guarding the door leading into the hall.
He was disguised in the same manner.
The tall man grasped Miss Ranger by
the throat and forced her on the bed.
lie told her to remain quiet and that
size would not be harmed. He pressed
her throat and then snatched the ear
rings ont of her ears aud secured the
cross which was pinned TO her night
garment Both men then sprng out
Of the window leading into an alley
and disappeared. The police were no
tilted and shrewd detectives put to work
on the case. This is very much like
the robbery of Eflie Hawkins, Of Chi
cago. who lost large amount of dla-
monds last winter, which We're returned
for consideration as mysteriously as
they were stolen, and over which the
police are puzzled to this day.

AN OLD. OLD GAVE
Worked with 0id-Tiinc Success ON
q New Jersey Farmer.
New York TimesI

Dir. Joseph Baldwin, a resident o.
Mcntclair, n. j., and retired mer-
Chant Of New York, was cleycr!y
robbed Of 5000 in Newark yesterday
afternoon by three bunko stserers
Mr.. Baldwin was walking on the street
carly in the afternoon when he was APP
preached by a wcll-drcssed man, about
thirty years Of age, who called
him by name andyhO represented him
self as the son of the late President
Pinnro, Of the Newark National Bank
ing Company. He induced Mr. Bald
win to accompany him 10 his boarding
house, at No. 81 Bank street, to Sc
some books.
Earlier in the day the man had en-
gaged the front parlor at the above
number. He had two friends who went
to the house with him and they re-
NAMED while he went ont. When Mr.
baldwin and his new friend arrived he
was introduced 10 the two men. Shortly
after the arrival OF Mr. Baldwin the
men began TO play some hnA Of game
with bank-checks. They induced Mr.
baldwin to join them in the game,
which he did for amusement. They
dared him to play for 3d. telling
him that he did not have so much mo-
ney. He at once went TO the Stat
Banking Company and drew the
money. When he returned to the.
house he laid the money on thd'
table. when one Of the two men covered
the money with his hand and claimed
it as his own. Mr.. Baldwin remon-
strated, when the man picked mp the
money and left the house. The alleged
Mr. Pinneo at once exclaimed against
the act, and told Mr. Baldwin that h
would make the money good. He sal!
that he would go at once to the National
Newark Banking Company and draw
the money. In the mean time Mr.
Baldwin was to await his return. After
waiting nearly two hours in vain Mr.
Baldwin informed the chief of police o.
his loss. He said that he thought the
man to be all right, as he seemed to
know him well and gave the name OF IL
good family.

Can the Magnet CureD the umb:

London Telegraph
DR.. CharcCt, Of the Salpetriere Hos
pital, has been continuing with con
siderable success his experiments on
hysteric and hypnotic patients
Having satisfied himself as to the posi-
bility Of transferring paralysis, nervous
contractions, and cataleptic systems
from one patient to another, he next
set to work, in conjunction with his able
assistant, DR.. Babinski, to apply the
test to hysteric dumbness.
1t is well-known fact in medicine
that people afflicted with hysteric cpl
lepsy suddenly become tongue-tied
and remain 50 for many years.
4 female patient afflicted in this man
ner, but who was otherwise of robust
constitution, was placed back to bdcli
with a woman who had been a
long time cataleptic. BY means OF the
magnet the dumbness was transferred
from one patient TO the other with the
same regularity that marked the ex-
periments in paralysi1.
BY continuing the experiments DIR.
Charcot hopes to be able to completely
restore speech to the tonguc-tied pa
tent. The same experiment was re-
peated with male patients, ind with
the same promising results. 1t would,
of course, be premature TO call DIR.
Chaieot's wonderful studies pre-
eminently successful in their imme-
diEte results as exempliiied by the
strange experiments which have been
made at the Salpetriere, but no one can
doubt that, ike Claude Bernards III
another field, they open up 9 vast
vista in pathological and physiological
! science.

WORMS IN FLOWER POTS.

In the use of lime water to destroy
earth worms in the soil of 1ower-pots,
some people fear injury to the plants by
using it too strong, and therefore neglect
to employ it altogether. 1t should be
understo that lime water will not iniure
plants. And by lime water is meant
water containing all the lime it will hold
in solution. This is a definite quantity
and cannot be increased, no matter how
large an amount of lime in excess is used
for certain quantity of water. The
water will hold so much. and no more.
After Stacking. lime in water it is allowed
to settle. and then the clear liquor is
poured off: this is lime water. The soil

pouring it ON, or by immersing the pot
in it for a time. This operation will

A Negro Song in a Minor Key.

All the shabbiness of the Florida
foliage in winter time vanished in the
light. The palmettoes were lofty palms,
majestic against that sky. The short
twilight passed into night; the sky grew
cold as steel; only long ray of rosy light
fingered across it, stretching from the
horizon to the zenith. The moon, sharp
crescent, curved upward at each end, lay
in the track of that ray. From near the
river shore came the sound of boat load
Of negroes, singing in their dialect as
they rowed, and in strange minor key,
a nasal chant, startingly like the songs of
crews ON the Nile. So startling was it
that my Arab servant, Achmet. who was

are singing" and involuntarily began
the familiar chant of the Nile, IVA

feet keeping were scene and sounds, it
